What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Dec 2, 7:01 PM EST, 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 2, 7:01 PM EST, 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
701 PM EST Mon Dec 2 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
The winter storm lingering south of New England tonight will
intensify as another round of accumulating snow moves in
overnight into Tuesday, especially for eastern Massachusetts.
Generally dry conditions will prevail through mid week along
with colder temperatures. Another low may bring light rain
and/or snow Friday into Friday night, then more dry and cool
conditions move in next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...

7 PM update...

Changeover to snow has occurred along the I95 corridor with
rain-snow line advancing across SE MA, but will likely take
until 4-6 AM to reach Cape Cod as developing low pres to the
south slowly the eastward push of colder air. Bands of snow
continue to rotate across SNE this evening. The wildcard is what
happens late tonight into Tue morning as deepening mid level
low tracks south and east of Nantucket. Comma head will develop
and expand across eastern New Eng with potential for a period of
heavy snow across eastern MA assocd with the CCB. Pinpointing
where these bands will set up is still a challenge and it be a
nowcasting situation later tonight.

Potential for 4-8 inches additional accum across eastern MA,
heaviest north of Boston if these bands persist and set up over
the region. However, there is uncertainty and a 50 mile shift
to the east would limit accum to 2-4 inches. We will continue to
monitor.

Previous discussion...

For Tonight, the majority of the 12Z model suite has the low
shifting E close to or just inside the 40N/70W benchmark between
03Z and 06Z, but continuing to move slowly . Winds will
continue to back to N across most of the region this evening,
which will allow the colder air to sink in. Once that arrives,
will see the precip change over to snow. However, may see the
low wrap toward the E coast, bringing another round of enhanced
precip starting around 04Z- 05Z.

Another burst of snow will move across a good chunk of eastern
Mass, with the best enhancement across east coastal areas from
northern Plymouth and NE Bristol counties northward to NE Mass.
Could see snowfall rates up to 1 to 2 inches/hour at times with
the best chance across portions of Essex county possibly into
the interior Merrimack valley.

Have forecasted snowfall amounts overnight on the order of 2 to
as much as 5 inches of new snow, with the highest amounts east
coastal areas. With this in mind, have extended the Winter
Storm Warning across E Mass down to Plymouth county. Have also
lowered the Winter Storm Warning across central and western
areas to a Winter Weather Advisory, as well as adding Cape Cod
to the Advisory starting at 3 AM.

Also expecting northerly winds to gust up to 25-35 kt, with the
highest gusts along the coast and interior higher terrain. This
is borderline for a Wind Advisory, but have held off in putting
this up for now.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
As the low continues to strengthen off Cape Cod early Tuesday,
will see gusty northern winds continue through around midday
across the Cape, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. However,
noting a deep H5 cutoff low passing across the 40N/70W
benchmark, capturing the surface system to the NE. The surface
low forecasted to deepen to a sub-980 hPa low during the day E
of Cape Cod. This may keep the precip lingering mainly across
central and eastern areas through a good chunk of the day,
though the precip should become lighter.

As the low at the surface and aloft shifts E Tue afternoon, the
precip should finally through mid afternoon. Current forecast
suggests that another 2-4 inches may fall between 12Z and 18Z
across east coastal areas, dropping to around an inch or 2 a bit
further W. Clearing skies should push into the CT valley by
midday, then shift slowly E during the afternoon. Cloudy
conditions linger along E coastal areas.

Will see blustery NW winds in place, with gusts up to 20-30 mph.
This will combine with cold temperatures, with highs running 5
to 10 degrees below seasonal normals for early December, to
result in wind chill values in the upper teens and 20s.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Highlights...

* Dry with seasonal temps Tuesday night into Thursday.

* Arctic front Friday or Saturday brings rain/snow chances and a
  stronger shot of colder temperatures to start the weekend

* Warm up late next weekend into the new week

Details...

Wednesday and Thursday....

Ever so brief/weak ridging early Wednesday but overall the
pattern toward the middle/latter half of the week is for a broad
mid level trough to settle over southern New England. This will
keep temperatures below average for early December (highs in
the 30s to low 40s and overnight lows in the teens and 20s).
This shortwave is lacking moisture but there is enough for a
chance of some light upslope enhanced snow over western MA but
coverage shouldn't be widespread.

Friday through Sunday...

Brief height rises early Friday will be followed by the best
shot of precip for the region in the extended forecast: an
arctic front and mid level shortwave that will pass through
sometime late Friday into early Saturday. Behind the front
temperatures take an immediate dip on Saturday into the 20s/30s
for highs, but guidance is indicating SW flow quickly returns
bringing much warmer air ahead of strong low to our NW.
confidence at this time range is low, but Sunday into next week
has the potential to be quite warm.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Short Term /through Tuesday/...High confidence in trends.
Moderate confidence in timing.

Tonight...

MVFR-IFR conditions with periods of snow, except across far SE
MA and Cape Cod where rain transitions to snow through the
overnight. Strong N-NW winds may develop. Potential for a period
of heavy snow late tonight and Tue morning eastern MA.

Tuesday...

Areas of IFR-LIFR VSBYS/IFR CIGS across central and E areas
early. Area of -SN will shift E through midday with conditions
improving to VFR from W-E through the day. MVFR conditions may
linger along the immediate E coast through 22Z-00Z.

KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF trends.

KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF trends.

Outlook /Tuesday Night through Saturday/...

Tuesday Night: VFR. Breezy.

Wednesday through Wednesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR
possible. Breezy.

Thursday through Thursday Night: VFR. Windy with local gusts up
to 30 kt.

Friday: VFR. Windy with local gusts up to 30 kt. Slight chance
SHRA, slight chance SHSN.

Friday Night: VFR. Windy with local gusts up to 30 kt. Slight

Saturday: Windy with local gusts up to 30 kt.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Tuesday/...High confidence.

Gale warnings continue on all waters through mid morning on
Tuesday morning. Winds shift to NE to N overnight tonight with
gusts up to 35-40 kt. Rough seas expected across the ocean
exposed coastal waters. Seas up to 12 to 18 feet, highest on
the eastern waters tonight. Reduced visibility through the
night.

N-NW winds on Tuesday will slowly diminish, which will allow
Gales to lower to Small Craft Advisories by mid to late morning
Tuesday, except remaining at Gales across the eastern open
waters which will linger into the afternoon. Seas up to 12 to
18 feet on the eastern waters, then will slowly subside but
remain at or above 10 ft. Reduced visibility across most areas
early, then improving across the southern waters.

The tides have lowered, so allowed the Coastal Flood Advisory to
expire.

Outlook /Tuesday Night through Saturday/...

Tuesday Night: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 30 kt. Areas of rough seas.

Wednesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Slight
chance of rain.

Wednesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Slight
chance of rain showers.

Thursday: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
local gusts up to 30 kt. Areas of rough seas.
